Autism

Autism spectrum disorder affects 1:59 children in the US. Autism is believed to be caused by a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors and can be lifelong, with co-occurring conditions that severely affect health, language, level of function, social skills, and behavior. Appropriate intervention can greatly improve all of these areas.

Focus for Health is committed to providing families necessary information to help navigate the complex needs of individuals with autism across the lifespan.
